What is the best place to mount a quick release fire extinguisher? I has seen under seat mounts, Roll Cage mounts, and flat mounts. The rear drive shaft tunnel would be good, but i doubt it would be easily reachable when harnessed in with a helmet on. The under seat makes since...What are you guys doing?

'75(?) Chevy Monza, Group 5, SCCA

Costas was the driver/owner.

We started in ~Nov 2002 at the one in Paris, Tx. Did the 2003 CRNC in MO in 2004, and two more back in Paris 2004.

To keep on topic, IIRC the rules required us to have 2 bottles, one within reach and one in the trunk.

COOL, a MONZA!! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif)

So, since you were in Group 5, you had the (modded?) small block in that thing??

Yes, the latter day rules (I was out of it after ~'04) stated that in lieu of a full, multiple nozzle, trigger system, you could have the two hand-helds (to keep on topic (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ).

Most folks don't think 'cool' when they see a Monza, but I've had a lot of them and like them.
Had a 310" small block with vortec heads and a small 4bbl. Ran pretty well and the crowd seemed to like it. Had good v8 noises for sure.
4sp, ptrax, kumho rally tires, big lights. Way fun.

<on topic>
I have no idea where we had fire extinguishers, Gary was the brains of the outfit, I just drove where he told me to.

I will say that fire systems aren't THAT expensive so price shop that also. No worrying about getting it out and ready to fire, just pull the darn T handle and WHOOOOOOOSH...
